Explanation
The sentence indicates that the blank opposes the word proven. Corroborated and assayed are an incorrect pair of words that have meanings similar to proven. Only putative and conjectural have the desired meaning (“alleged, supposed, in theory”).
Hence options putative, conjectural are best fit!
